Two of the NFL’s 13 play-calling head coaches meet Sunday when New Orleans’ Sean Payton (offense) faces the Broncos’ Vic Fangio (defense). The Saints’ offense, minus receiver Michael Thomas for six games and now without quarterback Drew Brees, ranks 12th in yards per game (373.6) and fifth in scoring (29.5). The Broncos’ defense, minus their entire Week 1 starting defensive line and outside linebacker Von Miller, is 13th in yards allowed (346.3) and 21st in scoring (21.6). Payton and Fangio have a mutual admiration even though they haven’t coached on the same staff and haven’t met head-to-head that often.
